I had some leftover Matte black paint from the front grille surrounds, so I decided to paint the rear emblems Matte black. I think overall it turned out pretty well, and it makes the "F" stand out more.

If you plan on doing this, I recommend that you find the thinnest double-sided tape possible for re-attaching the emblems, because the ones I used were thicker than OEM, so they are not completely flush with the bumper. The ones I used are also gray instead of black, so from the sides, the tape is a bit more visible. So just make sure you don't cut the tape too close to the edge of the emblems, otherwise they'll show and it'll be ugly.

One more thing. There are 2 prongs on the "Lexus", 2 on the L emblem, and 1 on the "I". There is none on the "S", so make sure you tape a template around the "S" so you can re-attach it perfectly in place.

Anyways, onto the pix. Enjoy!

I was lucky that mackinindustries had a set of these limited edition rims for the IS-F fitment in stock. I just put them on today Oct. 4, 2008 at VIP Status. Go see Clark for anything you need for rims and other stuff! I am running 19x9's in the front with Toyo T1R 245/35/19 with +38 offset, and the rear is running 19x10's with Toyo T1R 275/30/19 with +35 offset. You can see from the pictures that the front rim weighs 19.8lbs while the rear weigh 20lbs even. The front tires weigh 24lbs, and the rear weigh 26lbs. Total weight for the front rims with are 43.8lbs and the rear is 46lbs. I believe these rims are lighter than my HRE C93's except the HRE's are a 3 piece design and the rear is 19x10.5. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...&highlight=HRE I am happy with these rims and I just need a good set of coilovers to make this setup look sick! Well hope you enjoy and look forward to hearing your opinions.

Thanks for your time!

I decided to paint my grille matte black to give the car a more aggressive look (And to start my blue/black theme for the car). Overall I'm very satisfied in the way it turned out, except that the clear coat I used gave the grille a rough texture. I might have to re-do it later down the line.

Anyways, here are the pix. I don't think anyone has done this on their F yet. Enjoy!









BTW - Please don't hate on that front plate..ha ha. I hated it as well, but I dodrive around LAX, so that'd be a fix-it ticket waiting to happen...

As you can see the rear tires are pretty thick, but it looks very flush. I had to get my rear fenders shaved and Backyard Creations did it for me. These rims are the HRE Competition series and HRE informed me that these are the lightest competition series rims they make. The front rim weighs 21.4lbs and the rear rim weighs 22.1lbs. The front tires weigh 23lbs, while the rear weigh 29lbs.
So the front weighs 44.4lbs and the rear weighs 51.1lbs compared to the stock rim weights of 50.6lbs for the front 19x8 and 54.4lbs for the rear 19x9. Now I just need to drop the front a little bit and it will look nice.

Enjoy everybody...or not...

I tried to capture the essence of the Troy's project in my pictures, but it's hard to fully appreciate unless you see it in person.
